So, I have a logitech keyboard (I'll update this when I know what one it is, or if blood see's this he can edit it for me) and its coming towards the end of its life. I'm looking to upgrade to something. As I no longer use my PC for uni work and essay writing I've considered a mechanical keyboard. I've had a try on a couple and really seemed to enjoy them but still unsure what to go for and the exact difference between them all. I understand its the distance between something and something (I'm the non technical admin..)

Some suggestions as to what to buy and why you use yours would be great. Budget isnt a big factor right now, as i'll probably upgrade with xmas money. The only preferance I have is that I have media keys on the keyboard.

So far i've personally used blue, black and reds. For gaming, reds win for me but it's all personal preference. My current keyboard of choice is a Corsair K70 RGB (christmas tree edition). The software could be better but the hardware is solid. Their entire range is here: http://www.corsair.com/en/landing/gaming-keyboards

I can understand companies want to sell a premium product rather than a basic generic, but I really wish more companies would do a plain-er mechanical keyboard that doesn't look like aliens have landed on your desk.
